What about NISMO injectors? They're junk Sard garden hoses with a Nismo sticker.

Their suspension arms. Cost a bomb (or as much as Ikeya stuff) yet you don't have anywhere near the adjustment. Painted silver but!!

The list could go on forever.

They do make some decent gear like the rear diffs, clutches and are actually reasonably priced. Most of it is just "warmed up" and hardly worth the money.

But you have a NISMO clutch in your car?

Just like most of us did/do...

At least they got one thing right

Last paragraph mate.

Not saying it's all junk. The diffs and clutches are fantastic. Absolutely no question there. That clutch is THE clutch to have one a street GTR.

Lots of Nismo hate... And I've bought two Nismo items in the past 4 days [emoji15]

One of those items was a fuel pump... I can't bag the price of Nismo too much - the identical Tomei fuel pump was double the money of the Nismo!

I installed a Nismo thermostat in my R33. Was great, car never got the chance to get out of cold tune! And it only cost $120!

So glad I didn't spend $40 on an OEM thermostat that would hold a collant temp over 60 deg C, fuel economy is for chumps!

Walbro would be half the cost and flow even more and be e85 compatible.

Won't be a direct fit i suppose though

a hose clamp and 2x wire crimps aren't exactly brain surgery lol

Maybe not, but I've read mixed reviews on Walbro pumps, where as I've heard no negative comments about the Nismo pumps. It also includes everything for a painless swap, including the large o'ring that seals the fuel pump opening. The flow of the Nismo pump is a good match for the rest of my gear (injectors, turbo etc) so the higher flow rate of the Walbro would be a waste.

Hard pipes usually do the exact opposite - in that - they make shuffle far more pronounced/problematic. Particularly when running larger twins, stock turbos not a problem but upgrade to -5s or 2530s and you're in for a tuning headache.

So no, they are certainly not a good upgrade IMO. Plenty on this forum have even REMOVED the hard piped and gone back to stock ones for that very reason, plenty of posts about it. So definitely something that article fails to touch upon but then he's still running stock turbos... They should be the first thing you change, not everything else first.

Just curious, why do the group A R32 Gtr such as the Calsonic and Gibson motorsports have the hard pipes then? I thought the hard pipes gave less flex compared to stock rubber and had better merger Y pipe before going into intercooler?

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
